    To get a playable frame rate i have to set everything on low and game looks like crap. Even on all very low setting i get 30-60fps in towns. Im someone who wants 60fps at all times. I cant figure out is it game or me.

    My specs:

    I7 4930k

    Gtx 970

    16G of ram

    Windows 8.1 64bit

    If you want flawless 60fps then ArmA 2 really isn't gonna be for you. Simulation comes at a cost.

    Arma 3 runs amazingly. It's just that their game engines before ArmA 3 are horrible.

    I should've been more specific. Janky ass Bohemia Interactive simulation comes at a cost. Standalone is just the A2 engine crammed full of more shit and ui's than it was ever designed to use.

    A3 is quite an improvement especially considering the rather nice and far more powerful lighting engine it has.

    Standalone is just Arma 2 engine but with even more shit it was not designed to ever use crammed in. :/ It will always run like shit I'm afraid.
